Everything You Want to Know About the HBS Case Method Learning Environment - Video Marathon Post

As a follow up to my earlier post today (regarding the video HBS references in their essay prompt), I wanted to unleash a marathon of HBS Case Method videos that I found during my research.

So grab some popcorn and sit back - this is sure to beat the Game of Thrones marathon you had planned for tonight (but not really.) Ha.

First off - the 2007 video Dee Leopold references in this year's essay prompt:

There are special moments that pull everything we have learned into focus. When theory, practice, experience and talent all come to one sharp point -- a decision that shapes a definitive course of action. When it's no longer an issue of what can be done, but of what you will do.

Next comes what I found digging around the Youtubes and Interwebs.

The video above is actually very well put together. Watching it made me feel as if I was getting hyped up in the locker room, just minutes before I was about to run out onto the field for a football game. 

Students give their personal perspective about the HBS Case Method in the two videos below.

Getting "Cold-called" at HBS

Finally, I leave you with the video below - "Cold Call" AKA "Something We All Feared" - where alumni recount the horrors of being cold called by professors. A bit of HBS comic relief depending on your sense of humor. 

One case - deceptively named Chattanooga Ice Cream Company - spelled the demise of two students who "packed up and went home" after the case discussion (https://youtu.be/vCh6YnFuAiw?t=1m2s).  Maybe they were lactose intolerant? 

One former student describes the horrors of the Donner Case (https://youtu.be/vCh6YnFuAiw?t=2m3s) - definitely not a party. 

Another former student had to book an appointment with the school psychologist. (https://youtu.be/vCh6YnFuAiw?t=3m25s) But the psychologist was booked out for 3 months! What? Ha.

Yet another alum was cold called after a night of drinking and not preparing - the visiting professor from DPRK University was not impressed. (https://youtu.be/vCh6YnFuAiw?t=2m30s)

Jokes aside, after watching this video, I'm not sure if they were talking about getting cold called or cold cocked. HBS = no place for wimps apparently.

Seriously, all in good fun, HBS.

HBS "Cold Call" Video

So now that you have watched the videos above, are you ready to"Introduce Yourself"?

All-in-all, HBS has made some very clean and beneficial changes to their essay that help candidates respond in a way that is on point. They also do a much better job at clarifying what type of person succeeds in the HBS learning environment - the Case Method being core to the DNA of the school. Overall, what Dee Leopold is really looking for has remained intact.
